This is the kind of smuglord that tries to look down on you for preferring to work from home.

    it’s only getting worse… now you can “donate” a few dollars when you take a flight to “help offset” ask those carbon emissions you caused

    this is really going to be a nutty world in a few more years where every action you take will cost x amount per some magical carbon impact algorithms

      I’ve recently had to argue with a “VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET” smuglord type and it went nowhere because that’s the kind of blame-the-masses bullshit that people like him believe: that asking individual consumers to save the world (or much more likely, not save the world) with their consumer choices is a good idea and that if the wallets vote otherwise, oh well, at least they can feel smart and superior as the planet continues to burn.
